“We talk a lot about each other, but never with each other.” With that thought in mind Marieke van der Velden and Philip Brink traveled to Lesvos and invited European tourists and Syrian refugees to talk to one another about life. The result was a short documentary entitled, “The Island of All Together”. Philip and Marieke spoke to EmbassyNews.net about the project and the people that made it all happen.

The Ambassador of Norway in Athens, His Excellency Jørn Eugene Gjelstad, spoke to EmbassyNews.net and commented on the current developments in Greek and European politics, the economy and the refugee crisis.
